Hope you are enjoying the last couple of weeks of ACC conference basketball season. Before you know it, the ACC tournament will be here in full swing.

My buddy @TalkinACCSports (Jeffrey Fann) repeatedly keeps you up-to-date on the ACC Bubble Analysis. Virginia Tech is right in the thick of things with a bid. The Hokies close the season with Clemson at home (that game is happening right now as I type this blog), Boston College on the road, Miami at home, and Wake Forest at home.

Virginia Tech cannot lose on the road to Boston College. I repeat, Virginia Tech cannot lose on the road to Boston College. I repeat, Virginia Tech cannot lose on the road to Boston College. Losing on the road to Boston College would be an RPI killer for the Hokies – and put Virginia Tech back on the bubble.

Virginia Tech “does not have a good road record” (awful) at Boston College – we’re looking at a horrific 2-11 all time at Boston College. In fact, in 2009 and 2011, I’d say that losing at Boston College put a major dent in Virginia Tech’s NCAA hopes those years. Why is it so hard to win at Boston College? I have no idea – many people say that that place is like a hypnosis forum where you are lulled to sleep as a player. This can’t happen to Virginia Tech.

You can bet that Buzz Williams is mentioning these stats to his players – because in order to show progress as a basketball program, Virginia Tech must win at Boston College.
